''Porridge'' is a film released in 1979 and based on the television series ''Porridge''. It was released under the title ''Doing Time'' in the United States. All the warders and inmates from the original series appear in the film, with the notable exceptions of Lukewarm, Heslop and Harris. There is also a different governor, played by Geoffrey Bayldon. The film includes one of the last appearances by Richard Beckinsale, the actor who played Godber. He died in March 1979, a few weeks after its completion.〔 ==Plot== In the film, which is set a year before the final episode of the TV series, Fletcher and Godber are forced by another inmate to escape from prison, and then have to try to break back in before they are found by the police. Three characters not seen in the TV series make an impact in the film. Rudge, played by Daniel Peacock, is a young, timid prisoner in the Godber mould, seen arriving for his three-year stretch for shoplifting at the beginning of the film. He comes into his own when he shows his outstanding football skills during the game that leads to the breakout. Oakes, played by Barrie Rutter, is a violent armed robber who arrives in the same van as Rudge and is sprung for the breakout, reluctantly taking Fletcher and Godber with him. Beale, played by Christopher Godwin, is a new prison officer who subscribes to Mackay's firm approach to the job, but proves easy to manipulate into recommending a celebrity football match. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Porridge (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
